Neutral Day Work Party : Inviting the Dralas

February 4th (2019)

Date details +

    Did you know that there is a special practice in order to prepare for the New Year? We will gather together as a community for the traditional practice of Neutral Day.

    Neutral Day, the day before Shambhala Day, is the time to do intensive cleaning, a time to clean and refresh our centre, shrines and homes in preparation for the New Year. Neutral day falls between Dön season, which is the end of the previous year when it is said that karma and negativity ripens and the New Year when extra care and attention is vital for the fresh start of the New Year.

    Join us at the Shambhala Centre for this festive day of cleaning as we clear out the cobwebs and uplift the centre. Cleaning before the New Year is a way of attracting positive drala energy into the environment. It allows us to put energy into uplifting our space to start the year with a sense of freshness, new beginning, openness and possibility.
    Doing so as a group adds some extra fun and zeal to the whole experience. Join us!     Come even if your energy is low. Every little bit helps and we have jobs big and small!

    Soup will be offered by the centre.   Please register so we know how much to prepare!

    Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

    When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
